Pros:

Amazing resort, absolutely loved our stay here. We booked for our final 2 nights of Philippines trip, even though it rained all of the final day we enjoyed staying here to just chill out. The staff are so friendly, lovely beach, good food. Big clean room, hot powerful shower the best we had in 2 weeks. The booking included return transfers from airport.

Cons:

The bed was a bit hard

A wonderful 5-night stay. We'll be talking about this one for a while...
Pros:

From the warm welcome on arrival to the very nice send-off when we left we were treated like we were special guests! The food was very good and the menu selection allowed for enough variety for our 5 night stay. The staff were very attentive without being overpowering, always with a smile and happy to assist with anything we needed or wanted. The team at the dive shop were ready and waiting for us and prepared us well for our 2 days of diving. The dive staff were very helpful in getting us into and out of the water safely.

Cons:

I would have liked to have another top blanket on my bed, but I'm sure that it would have been provided if I had asked, so it's nothing that your staff didn't do. Of course the shower took some time to warm, but we were warned in our orientation, so not a problem with this either. By the way, the young lady that did our orientation was fantastic. She covered so much and it was just as she said it would be. Great job!

The most incredible stay in paradise!
Pros:

Everything! This hotel is just amazing, the views, the resort itself, the staff are fantastic and remember little details. This hotel is up there with the best.
There is loads to do despite the hotel only being quite small, and it was lovely that we weren’t constantly being charged extra for things like SUPs and canoes. A games room, gym, diving, seaplane flight, spa, hiking or just relax and do nothing! Brilliant food too!

Cons:

Having to leave! My daughter and I both had tears in our eyes as the lovely staff sung us goodbye and waved us off.

A very favorite stay
Pros:

This was one of our very favorite stays in the Coron area. The location of the resort is truly spectacular, plus because of some health-related issues we were offered a free upgrade to a beach front cottage. The resort is very peaceful and meticulously maintained, the food is superb, including patiently addressed personal dietary requirements. The semi-private full day island hopping excursion was incredible and seamlessly organized. Last but not least, we were surrounded by a genuine care by every single member of the staff. Special thanks to two lovely ladies, the resort managers, who gave us lots of important information about further destinations in the Philippines, including scuba diving.

Cons:

We loved everything

Tout est parfait, de l’accueil en passant par la propreté de la chambre, la bienveillance de tout le personnel.

Les activités gratuites proposées sont riches, le menu du restaurant est varié.
Les cocktails sont excellents !

Tout est orchestré pour que l’on passe un moment hors du temps.

Merci et Mabuhay !

Perfect resort to get away from the hustle and bustle
Pros:

Lovely and secluded and had everything you needed. Staff made you feel super special and very kind

Cons:

The food wasn’t always the best. All the deep fried foood was good but if you wanted a healthy option it wasn’t as good so would put me off staying for too long.
